The difficulty for the bosses was turned up also, so you would find yourself dying a lot due to something unexpected. It feels more raw like playing Mega Man 1 after you’ve played the more polished MM2-6 titles. The controls feel like they want to be a Mario game, but it’s not polished enough like a true Mario title. In the original version the play control can be janky at times, resulting in missing jumps or getting hit by enemies, or even accidentally wall jumping/sliding which take time to get used to. These graphics are DS levels of quality! The bonus game between levels was included too! The play control and gameplay are much improved in the v1.2 of this homebrew. The graphics are gorgeous and look like something between Donkey Kong Country and New SMB for the WiiU, and the backgrounds are very detailed especially in the Egyptian pyramid levels. So sometimes you gotta figure out how to get the superball to ricochet off the walls properly to hit an enemy in an enclosed area. So you can’t just walk up to something and hit it, you gotta jump since they travel on a diagonal motion. The superball bounces off walls and ricochets a few times before disappearing. The superball replaces the Fire Flowers in SML, but you still get the superball from Fire Flowers. I never played the original SML so I don’t have much to compare it to. First run got up to level 3 before game over, then somehow got lucky to least level 4 before a second game over. Which I’ve included embedded with this post, I did poorly. So the question is, how does it play? I started streaming recently, and I’ve wanted to redo my previous gameplay video. For security purposes I won’t be providing a direct link to it, but you may find it on. You can find more information about this amazing project and its history and videos at the below articles. Of course this being 2019 the rom got dumped online and can easily be flashed to a cart, or played on your favorite SNES emulator. Finding the rom, I fired it up on my phone emulator and had a blast with it! This project was originally a homebrew of SML as a Christmas gift for the anonymous programmer’s friends. I had never played SML before or had a giant brick Gameboy save for playing emulators back in the day or borrowing a friend’s (I think that’s how i finished the og Link’s Awakening and Pokemon Red). So I came across this little homebrew completely by accident, a SNES homebrew version of the Gameboy classic Super Mario Land. This review and gameplay video has been updated to reflect the version 1.2 of New Super Mario Land as of. Note: I’ve recently learned that there have been updated versions of this homebrew released with graphical and control fixes, along with improved features closer to the Game Boy original Super Mario Land.
